Canon\u00a0has created a very interesting product if we are looking for a camera with a nice design, good possibilities if we want to take scenes or even print them on the spot on adhesive photo paper.\u00a0In this article we tell you what this model offers you, what its pros and cons are and where you can find it cheaper.<\/p>\n

Canon Zoemini S2 Design<\/h3>\n

This Canon Zoemini S2 has dimensions of\u00a0121 x 80.3 x 22.4 mm\u00a0and a weight of\u00a0\u00a0188 grams\u00a0.\u00a0It is available in three colors,\u00a0\u00a0white, rose gold and green\u00a0.\u00a0Its design shows us the classic image of traditional digital cameras, separating us a bit from this concept of a more retro instant camera, such as the\u00a0Fujifilm Instax Mini 9\u00a0.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It is designed to take selfies, so it\u00a0does not\u00a0have a screen on the back but it does have a mirror on the front\u00a0.\u00a0If we want to shoot a scene in front of us, instead we will have to look through the lens to capture the scene.\u00a0Here it does retain that retro air of the most vintage cameras.\u00a0At the top we find a few buttons that will allow us to control our camera: power button, shutter and modes.\u00a0In addition, on the sides we have some small indentations that are used so that we can hang a ribbon, a rope or the like to carry it hanging.<\/p>\n

As an extra point in favor, it has a\u00a0\u00a0ring light\u00a0, which allows us to see live how we are posing and how we are focusing, in addition to taking well-lit photos.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The buttons included are:<\/p>\n

1. Power
\nbutton 2. Shutter
\nbutton 3. Filter button (B\/W\/Vivid color)
\n4. Border button (White border\/Custom border)
\n5. Slide switch (Landscape without flash\/Portrait with autoflash\/Selfie with light ring)<\/p>\n

What can we do with it?<\/h3>\n

This camera offers us a two in one: we can\u00a0\u00a0capture photos\u00a0 and store them on a\u00a0microSD\u00a0\u00a0memory card of up to 256 GB\u00a0or\u00a0\u00a0print them\u00a0\u00a0from the camera itself.\u00a0Shoot, edit and share (if you want).\u00a0This camera offers us a resolution of\u00a0\u00a08 MP\u00a0\u00a0and has\u00a0\u00a0Zink technology\u00a0.\u00a0It has an\u00a0\u00a0ISO between 100-1600\u00a0, the\u00a0white balance is automatic\u00a0, the\u00a0exposure is also automatic\u00a0and its focal value is\u00a0f\/2.2\u00a0.\u00a0The maximum resolution of the images is\u00a0\u00a0314 x 600 dpi\u00a0.<\/p>\n

In addition, it also incorporates\u00a0\u00a0flash\u00a0, with a range between\u00a0\u00a00.5 m and 1 m\u00a0\u00a0and the\u00a0 self-\u00a0timer\u00a0\u00a0can be set to 3 seconds, 5 seconds and 10 seconds.\u00a0Finally, at this point we highlight the\u00a0\u00a0remote shutter\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0\u00a0automatic shutdown\u00a0.<\/p>\n

App and connectivity<\/h3>\n

Its\u00a0700 mAh battery\u00a0offers us a duration for up to\u00a025 photographs\u00a0and is charged via\u00a0microUSB\u00a0.\u00a0The charging time is about\u00a0120 minutes\u00a0, from 0% to 100%.\u00a0So that we know what state it is in, it has\u00a0LED indicators\u00a0.\u00a0The red color indicates that the camera is charging and the green that it is ready to be used again.<\/p>\n

From the\u00a0Canon Mini Print\u00a0\u00a0app (compatible with\u00a0\u00a0iOS 12 onwards and Android 6.and higher\u00a0) we can edit the photos we have taken and decide which ones we want to print, make collages, apply filters, etc.\u00a0If we want to print the photos, we can\u00a0\u00a0load up to 10 sheets of Zink photo paper\u00a0with a size of\u00a05 x 7.6 cm\u00a0, which has an adhesive back.\u00a0Printing time per photo is\u00a050 seconds\u00a0.\u00a0From this app, configured on the mobile, we can\u00a0\u00a0shoot remotely\u00a0\u00a0or\u00a0\u00a0see live\u00a0what is being seen from the camera.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Having photographs printed instantly on adhesive paper can have many possibilities: for the youngest, it is an ideal option to decorate the school folder or notebooks;\u00a0For the older ones, you can even have many options, for example, to decorate the fridge or create more original photo frames.<\/p>\n

It is a very well connected camera and this is something that is also worth noting: it has\u00a0\u00a0Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC\u00a0.\u00a0Thus, we can share photos with other devices wirelessly, even simply with a touch.<\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/h3>\n
